Knicks guard Josh Hart is not a fan of the Hoosier state: 'I hate going to Indiana, bro.'
If you thought the Pacers and Knicks rivalry was hot in the 1990s, check out Josh Hart's recent comments about the state of Indiana.
On a recent episode of the "Roomates Show" podcast, which features Knicks players Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson, Hart let his negative opinions of Indiana known. Toward the end of the episode, Hart was asked about NBA All-Star Weekend. It's safe to say he won't be getting anywhere near Indianapolis during the festivities.
"Hell no, I'm not going to Indianapolis," Hart said. "If I don't have to play the Indiana Pacers, I'm not stepping a foot in that state. ... I do not want to be in Indiana for any All-Star break, anything. I am not an Indiana guy."
When Mikal Bridges, a Brooklyn Nets player who was a guest on the show, remarked that Hart would not want to be in the state even if the Knicks played the Pacers, Hart had a quick response.
"I don't want to be there then," Hart said. "I am not an Indiana fan. Now, a basketball court in the airport, that's a dope idea."

Hart went on to there were only two good things about the Hoosier state.
"I love White Castle," Hart said. "It's the only solid thing about Indiana. And Long's donut, the bakery, fire donuts. ... Indiana? Bottom of the barrel."
Luckily for Hart, the Knicks will not have to travel to Indiana the rest of the regular season.
"I hate going to Indiana, bro," Hart said.
